Research interests:

In my research, I combine molecular dynamics with fast electronic structure methods, and data science procedures to accelerate and automate reaction path discovery and explore reaction networks. Creative solutions are needed to make such a complex topic more accessible to the scientific community. Fields of application for the developed methods are the emergence of life, as well as various other organic and inorganic systems.
